The Crew (& Wild Run) 2014 Manual PLP Instructions

One last borderless spread post.
This current spread is a pretty common example of Borderless Gaming usage. It has trumped ShiftWindow. BG's a bleeding-edge spreader (recent update allows MM spread). Loving it. Anyway I seriously cannot be bothered updating all the instructions to use BG. You will have to improvise, which is not hard (just use BG instead of ShiftWindow, & use fullscreen values Always for BG). More details... somewhere. On the wiki (in How to Spread Games), & Usage is on wsgf blog post (link at bottom).

Game looks great with AA added **. Overall game looks decent, hor+ & FOV proper. Rendered cutscenes full hor+, FMVs pillarboxed. Most text proper (HUD & menu included). Some ugliness ****.

Game spreads decent, marred only (& significantly) by bottom-HUD issue:
- All bottom elements except map are larger, cutting jaggedly into world-view.
- By removing HUD skin, its size is reduced to very decent.

Game spreads perfect, except prominent background-art on loading screens is stretched full, & NPC dialog windows likely popup across inner bezel (they aren't centered). Hor+; FOV & HUD proper (HUD customizable, both size & element-positions *). Rendered cutscenes hor+, FMVs (rare) are pillarboxed, & both are letterboxed. All text proper, menus proper (all menus & character screens have hor+ rendered background).
